The Lord has Become My Salvation - Pastor Tom Loghry
God steps into the gap as the only one who can save us, overcoming all enemies, setting aside all false saviors.
Transcript:
Dear Father, as we come before the testimony of what you have done, the testimony that we find in scripture, we pray that you would impress upon us the greatness of your majesty, of the greatness of your power that has been revealed then and which has continued to be revealed, most of all, Father, in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
And so, Father, we pray that through the preaching of your word this morning, that you would lead us to have hearts that are full of worship and praise for you. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. You may be seated
What is the purpose of singing? Is it only to create a nice sound, or something more? Now some of you probably can't stand music that's in a foreign language. I myself can enjoy it because of the musical qualities and sometimes those songs, they communicate feelings that transcend even human words.
But even so, a song without words or words that cannot be understood can only go so far. What is the purpose in singing? The purpose of singing could be dissected down to many varying, varying ends. I'm gonna skip over going, falling out all those ends and just point out two clear purposes I think that we usually find in singing.
When we sing, we communicate our relationship with someone else and we declare certain truths. Now, a song isn't required for us to say these things individually. We could, we could just say them as a statement. But to declare them collectively as a group, we are helped by the aid of a tune. We are familiar with songs that express individual feeling.
We think of love songs, especially a love song that's written by one who is truly in love, who sings their song unto their beloved. When done well, it's more powerful than even just a mere statement. We also think of songs that express such love, but also declare certain truths meant to be sung collectively. For example, we think of The Star-Spangled Banner.
Now, if you didn't know, that song actually has more than one verse, and we can especially see the quality of songs containing both love and truth in its last verse, verse four, which reads, "O thus be it ever when free men shall stand between their loved home and the war's desolation! Blessed with victory and peace, may the heaven-rescued land praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, and this be our motto- 'In God is our trust.' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." Beautiful words that express the affection that a patriot has for their nation. The virtues of bravery and the goodness of God revealed to those who trust in Him.
Thinking about God, what about the songs that we sing to Him? Those songs, when sung from the heart, declare our love for Him, a love that is more basic and in keeping with our created purpose than any other love that we might sing about. These songs declare certain truths about God, about who He is, about what He has done, about what He's going to do. Now, of course, we're not telling God anything that He doesn't already know. What we are doing by song and word is offering ourselves unto Him, turning our hearts to Him, calling all mankind to turn to the Lord. We sing the truth that directs all of humanity to their maker. You see, a song doesn't just represent mere words, but our hearts. And it's our hearts which ought to belong to God because He is worthy of our complete affection and loyalty.
Songs help us to remember truths that we're apt to forget. And across millennia, songs have captured those moments that have turned our fates from death unto life. And this is exactly what we find in Exodus 15. Now, if you were with us last fall, you'll recall that we covered the story of how the Israelites went from being slaves in Egypt to being liberated by God under the leadership of Moses from Egyptian slavery.
God ordained the stubbornness of Pharaoh to reveal his, his glory, disclosed in the miraculous events of the 10 plagues that brought the wrath of God onto the household of Egypt and shamed their gods. God used Moses, a Hebrew man brought up in the household of Pharaoh, a man who ran into exile after slaying an Egyptian slave master, brought back from the desert possessing a faith that both trusted and yet stumbled in the face of God's wonderful promises. That Moses would lead this people out of Egypt to the promised land.
Moses, who felt he could not speak, but who stumbled along in faith, delivering the word of the Lord to Pharaoh again and again with his brother Aaron. All of this was God's doing, his work of redeeming his people. God's judgment against Egypt culminated in the death of the firstborn throughout the land, a judgment God spared the Israelites under the blood of a perfect Passover lamb that marked every door.
Pharaoh relented, and he let the people go. But there was more to follow. As the Israelites were exiting Egypt, Pharaoh's mind changed yet again. He was determined to trap them in the desert with his army of chariots. It looks like they were wandering around. They didn't know what they were doing. And so he closed in on them on the shores of the Red Sea.
Now, as we talked about last fall, the Red Sea, um, that's being referred to here most likely isn't the Red Sea as we know it, but the Reed Sea, Yam Suph, which was probably further up north between Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula. There was bodies of waters at that time. He came against them there intending to destroy them, to take them back for himself.
All seems lost, and then God intervened. He commanded Moses to strike the waters with his staff, and God parted the sea. And just as the Egyptians were making their way across in pursuit of the Israelites who had already gained safe passage, God brought those waters back down on, on them, bringing utter devastation upon Pharaoh's army, ending his pursuit once and for all. And it, it's an instance of victory snatched from the jaws of defeat.
It's a victory which very much called for a song. And so in Exodus 15, we find that the Israelites do just that. They sing a song unto the Lord for what He has done. So looking again at verses one through six, I'll read those again. It says, "Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: 'I will sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted. Both, both horse and driver He has hurled into the sea. The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father's God, and I will exalt Him. The Lord is a warrior; the Lord is His name. Pharaoh's chariots and his army He has hurled into the sea. The best of Pharaoh's officers are drowned in the Red Sea. The deep waters have covered them; they sank to the depths like a stone. Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy.'"
The song that the Israelites sing here is declaring the truth of the situation that's now been revealed, that God has exalted himself in this victory over Pharaoh's army, destroying them in the Red Sea. It's a truth that cannot be ignored, and it's a truth that is relevant. It's not just a random fact, as though it's saying water is wet. What we see here is that God has revealed himself to, in fact, be the one true God and the God of the people of, of Israel, a God who is more powerful than all the gods of Egypt.
He's overcome any purported power those gods would hold, and he's destroyed the power of Pharaoh, hurling the horse and their drivers into the sea. And we see here in verse two that there's a personal connection here for the people of Israel that they pick up on. They say, "The Lord is my strength and my defense. He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him." What they've seen happen right before their eyes is that the Lord has quite literally become their salvation. They had no hope. There was no reason why Pharaoh would've ever let them go free, releasing them from their captivity.
It's God who sent those plagues and brought them out, and it's God who gained them passage across the sea and destroyed Pharaoh's army. And this isn't coming out of left field. And in fact, what they're acknowledging here is that this is the God of their fathers, the God who has kept his, his promise. In Exodus 6, when the Lord speaks to, to, to Moses in verses 3 through 6, he says, "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by the name the LORD I did not make myself fully known to them. I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners. Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. Therefore say to the Israelites, 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.'" When we go back in Genesis, we see that God made a covenant with Abraham, a covenant to bring forth a nation from Abraham and to give them an inheritance, to bless them, to bring them into a promised land.
And God is fulfilling his word to Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob. And God just keeps repeating these promises, and he keeps his word. In verse 3, we see that the Lord is described as a warrior. Yahweh is a warrior. And it, this, this picture of, of the Lord as a warrior impresses upon us, and it's something that they very much realize as they're singing this song, is that this God is hands-on.
He actually shows up. He's not an aloof God. He's not like the God of Thomas Jefferson, which is just this kind of divine mind that set the world into being and spun it and then just watched it from afar away spin like a top. No, this God is great. He is transcendent, but He intervenes for the sake of His people .And the picture of a warrior is very much relevant 'cause they've seen him destroy an army that few others could stand against.
And so they're singing a song to him, very much in the fashion you might remember of, of how when King Saul and David would return from battle, the people would sing songs about them, and this is actually why Saul gets jealous of, of David, because they begin singing of how great David is, even more so than, than Saul.
But this is just the natural mode. When a warrior returns from battle, when he has done a great feat, they sing a song. And we see this, God's people singing a song about him as their great warrior. In verse six, we see that clearly from what has transpired, it's not the people that have done this, it is God.
It says, "Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power. Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy." It's God who has been doing this. And just as a sidebar here, because as we go through this, and actually as you go through scripture, you'll sometimes see the Lord described in ways that sound kind of human, like talking about your right hand.
We'll, we'll see verses here about God's nostrils. We shouldn't imagine that God has a physical being like we do. We have been made in the image of God, but what we are really as human beings is we are like God, but God is not like us in that sort of way, as though human beings are almost like an analogy of, of God set forth in the creation.
So I could say that life is like a box of chocolates. That doesn't mean that life is literally caramel and, and, and nougat and, and, and such. We reflect who God is in our beings. We should especially reflect him in our character. There's a certain rationality in our creaturely being, but God is not a material being.
He stands before the material creation. And so when these words are used, they're used because it's really the only way we could even try to talk about God, 'cause how, how else can you talk about something which transcends the entire material universe? And when we think about a right hand, you know, being a little bit stereotypical here, apologies to the left-handed people, but your right hand is usually your, your strong hand.
And so it's, it's, it's talking about the Lord's strength, of how he redeemed his people by his strength and destroyed the enemy. Now just think about this, this declaration about how the Lord is my strength and my defense. He has become my salvation. Let's think about that a little bit more. Is that our declaration today?
Do we declare that the Lord is my salvation? Or do we, in so many words, maybe just by the way that we live our lives, declare something else, that we're looking for our salvation in other things? Certainly, we see the rest of the world living in that sort of way, declaring those sorts of things, looking to money, to political figures, to technology, to advances in healthcare, and all sorts of things.
Not bad things in themselves, but in so many words, declaring those things to be their salvation. And yet all of them come up short of being able to bring about true and lasting salvation. We think about, ask our, ask ourselves, and I, and this is something that you all might have different answers to, but when we think about the public, when we think about our society, American society as a whole, as a country, who do we say is our Savior? Where do we look to find our salvation?
As long as we fail to look to the Lord as our Savior, we will continue to put ourselves in a position of being subjugated to false gods, to idols that will disappoint us again and again. Our salvation is found in the one who's revealed himself to be the greatest warrior of all, one who has revealed himself to be all-powerful.
Our salvation is found in God, revealed through his Son, in Jesus Christ. He has redeemed us from judgment, from damn, literally damnation, from being condemned to destruction. He's redeemed us from death so that we might have hope of resurrection, to live again in the new heavens and the new earth. It is Jesus Christ who is the Savior of the church, who upholds the church so that we endure from one generation to the next.
And this is all God's doing by his right hand. It is not our doing. And that's what the next set of verses here remind us of as we turn to verses seven through 10. In the greatness of your majesty you threw down those who opposed you. You unleashed your burning anger; it consumed them like stubble. By the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up. The surging waters stood up like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy boasted, "I will pursue, I will overtake them. I will divide the spoils; I will gorge myself on them. I will draw my sword and my hand will destroy them." But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.
The God of Israel, our God is one who throws down all those that will stand in opposition to Him. This is how he reveals the greatness of his majesty. None can resist him. It's like fire coming up against stubble. When fire comes against stubble, it just goes like It's not there anymore. And that's exactly what happened to Pharaoh's army.
And so we see the, that imagery in, in verse eight of the waters piling up, stood up, standing up like a wall, and then how they later covered the Egyptian army. What we see here in these verses is that it doesn't matter how boastful those who oppose God may be. We see in verse nine of how Pharaoh is saying, "I will pursue them. I will overtake them. I'm gonna destroy them. I'm gonna do all, I'm gonna do all these things. No one's gonna stop me," except God. God stopped Pharaoh and all his pride. You see, there's a futility in resisting God. It will, it will always end in your own destruction.
It will always end in your own defeat, whether we're talk, we're going from Pharaoh, you can zoom all the way to Hitler, to Stalin, and then also thinking about you and me. All of us individually as human beings. It is futile for us to resist God, He is all-powerful, He is the creator of all things, and we will have to answer to Him.
But thankfully, in His love and grace, He has given us an opportunity so that we might be saved if we would repent, if we would give up our resistance, and he has shown that there is a way because in Christ, again, he has overcome the devil, the power of sin, the power of death. Clearly, what we see here is that God is without equal. There's no one who can stand toe-to-toe with Him. And so the song continues in verses eleven through sixteen. Who among the gods is like you, Lord? Who is like you? Majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders. You stretch out your right hand, and the earth swallows your enemies. In your unfailing love, you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength, you will guide them to your holy dwelling. The nations will hear and tremble.
Anguish will grip the people of Philistia. The chiefs of Edom will be terrified. The leaders of Moab will be seized with trembling. The people of Canaan will melt away. Terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of your arm, they will be as still as a stone until your people pass by, Lord, until the people you bought pass by.
Hear the people in their song make a comparison saying, "Who among the gods is like you, Lord?" Now, these gods that they're talking about, in some cases we may say they're just total blanks. They're nonexistent, there, there's nothing standing behind them. In other cases, we say these gods are really demonic pretenders.
Because when we're talking about false idolatrous religion, it is the case you sometimes encounter power there. But it is demonic in nature. Spiritual beings who put themselves in the place of the one true God. But they are no match for all their pretending. And we can see this. Whatever was behind the power of Egypt, whether it was just human, but we can also imagine there was demonic powers at work, they were no match for God. We see in verse 12 that this God, this, the true God is omnipotent. He's all-powerful.
It says, "You stretch out your right hand and the earth swallows your enemies." David testifies to the same in 1 Chronicles 29, verses 11 through 12. He says, "Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all."
Now, notice there's, sometimes we get so caught up in the things that we can do, in all our abilities, our strength, all the resources that we collect, and we can imagine this increasing all the more as time goes on. I'm telling you, things are gonna get weirder and weirder as we go along here, and as technology progresses. We're gonna become very full of ourselves. But we must remember this: everything that we have, everything that we have comes from God. He is the one who gives us strength. He is the one who has given us blessings.
Unfortunately, we, we sometimes abuse those things. But what He gives, He can, can just as easily take away. And once again, He can snuff it right out. He holds all the power. In verse 13, we see that in this strength, he's leading his people to Jerusalem. He's leading them to the promised land. But notice what proceeds here in verse 13.
It says, "In your unfailing love you will lead the people that you have redeemed." You see, it's so easy to kind of, as you're, as we're going through these verses, to just hear, "God's strength this, God's power that," and you just think like, "Oh, wow," like, God seems quite ominous and just like pure strength and power and all, all that.
And he is. He is that. But the question is why? Why is he doing all of this? It's because He loves His people. And in the end, because this is part of the story of our redemption too, this is part of our story too, it's because He loves us. That is why He is doing these things. He's keeping His promises. As I referred to earlier in Genesis, in Genesis 12, we see that God makes a promise to Abraham to bring them into the promised land, to bless them.
And also, you notice there in the end of verse 3 it says that through Abraham, all peoples on the earth will be blessed. He's talking about us. God's keeping his promise to them and to us. And we see in Genesis 15, verses 13 through 14 that the Lord anticipated that all this was gonna happen, that the people were going to be enslaved in Egypt.
But he told Abraham at that time, "Then the Lord said to him, 'Know for certain that for 400 years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they, they will be enslaved and mistreated there. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.'"
So we see God's loving faithfulness right here in this particular moment in this history of redemption, and we see it revealed all the more when Christ appears. We go to Romans 5, verses 6 through 8. The Apostle Paul tells us, "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." And what Paul is saying there is that not too many people wanna put their life on the line for someone else, but maybe for a really good person you might venture to do that.
But Paul is saying, when we were rotten people, when we were enemies of God, God nonetheless loved us and sent his Son so that we might be brought back to him, so that we might be adopted as his sons and daughters, no longer rebels, no longer enemies, but members of his household. And Christ himself says in John 3:16 that this is why he was sent into the world.
Not to condemn, he was sent into the world because God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Everything that we see in scripture is a story of God's love for the people that He's redeeming for Himself. Now, bring this into comparison with any other false god. The false gods, they're cruel, if they exist at all. If they're demonic, they're cruel. There's no love, no giving of self In the end, they don't have real power. They don't have real strength. You see, the power of false religion is a charade, and it, it just introduces more slavery. It piles on more burdens upon us as human beings. It doesn't actually free us. It doesn't actually truly liberate us to being the creatures that God created us to be. That's true for the false religions. It's true for the material gods that we may come up with. If you make money your God, you will be a slave to money. If you make anything your, anything your god, you'll become a slave to it, even the one true God. But the thing about our God is that when we're a slave to Him, we are truly free because we become who we are always meant to be But for anything else, it just denigrates us. It destroys us.
And I have to warn you that we're entering to times where people are going to be looking more and more to false gods. I know there's a lot of apprehension out there about artificial intelligence, but there's also people who are eagerly looking toward it. There's people who are looking to AI to give the answers, to find the assurance that they should really be seeking in God.
There are those who are looking to this technology in the hope of finding eternal life, that they might transcend even having a human body to create some kind of symbiotic relationship between man and machine so that they might seize eternal life for themselves. Now, I'm not a Luddite. Artificial intelligence is a, is a tool, is a tool. It's a technology. It's a tool that I use. I use it to extend the ministry, our ministry here. I write a sermon, I, I work over the handouts that I give you using that. We use it to help make some of the children's material. I review, I edit it. We can use these tools. We'd be foolish not to use the blessings that God has given us.
But there's a rotten tendency in the human heart to turn our tools into gods. And I have to warn you, people are going to begin looking towards these things in one way or, whether formally or informally, going to be looking towards these things as gods in place of the one true God. But we must know this: AI cannot love us. The technology cannot love us. It is just a machine. But God, the one true God, our maker, loves us. And we see this love in Christ.
Now, the thing to understand about this love too is that it's not in contradiction with strength. It's a strong sort of love. It's, it's powerful. It's, it's like the love that a mama bear has for its cubs. It's like, you don't get near those cubs 'cause that mama bear's gonna get you, and that's the kind of love that God has for you and for me, for us. He loves us that much, with that kind of power and strength. And this love that God has displayed towards his people here is going to have its effects so that it's going to fill the people with terror who would come up in opposition against the Israelites.
Now, that doesn't mean that they're not gonna face opposition, but we have some attestation of this in Joshua 2:10 when they surround the city of Jericho. One of the things Rahab says when the spies come to her, said, "We heard about the whole Red Sea thing and we're pretty terrified based on what happened to Pharaoh's army there."
God is intervening in this way in order to pave a way for his people to come into the land that he promised them. So it says, "By the power of your arm, they will be as still as a stone-- until your people pass by, Lord, until the people you bought pass by." They're not gonna be able to do anything to them
And what they are passing, as they're passing these people by, what they are passing, what they are moving towards is their inheritance. Moving to the last set of verses here, 17 through 21. You will bring them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance, the place, Lord, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary, Lord, your hands established. The Lord reigns forever and ever. When Pharaoh's horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground. Then Miriam the prophet, Aaron's sister, took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed with her, with timbrels and dancing. Miriam sang to them, "Sing to the Lord, for he is exalted. Both horse and driver he has hurled into the sea."
The mountain that they are heading towards is Jerusalem, Mount Zion, where the temple will eventually be built, where God will manifest his presence among his people. He's leading his people to himself. He was doing that then, and he's doing that now. He's leading us to himself. We are looking forward to the new Jerusalem that is to come when Christ returns, when heaven meets Earth, and God makes his home here with us, and we will dwell forever in the presence of the Lord.
There's enemies around, all these opponents around, but He's leading us past them into His presence And we can have the confidence that we will survive, whatever's coming up. Remember the promise that Jesus tells Peter in Matthew 16:18. He says, "I tell you that you are Peter and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."
The church will not be destroyed. It's lasted for 2,000 years. It's going to continue to the very end of the ages until Christ returns. And so we get to this, this, this sort of conclusion here in verse 18, which kind of really just sums everything up. We have this great contrast. It says, "The Lord reigns forever and ever. When Pharaoh's horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea, the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them, but the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground." We have this truth, the Lord reigns forever and ever. How do we know it? Because we've seen it. We've seen what has just happened, and it's reminding us, it's revealing to us that the Lord reigns forever and ever. What are the things that we've seen in our life that remind us that the Lord reigns forever and ever?
Christ, of course. Christ reminds us that the Lord reigns for ever and ever. But I want you to think about the things in your own life too that remind you of that truth, of that reality, of how you've seen God intervene for your sake, for the sake of others.
In light of this truth, this wonderful truth, it says that Miriam and the women, they begin singing and dancing. They have timbrels. If you don't know what a timbrel is, it's basically like a tambourine. So they're making great music here, and they're just singing this refrain, "Sing to the Lord, for He is highly exalted. Both horse and driver He has hurled into the sea."
Moses, Miriam, all the people of Israel sing in response to what the Lord has done. In the previous chapter, when they were facing what seems like certain doom, Moses spoke to the people with an assurance that he could only possess because of the Lord's promise to deliver them. In the previous couple of chapters, in, in, in Exodus 14:14, Moses tells the people, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still." And that's just what the Lord did. He fought for them. He revealed not only his awesome power, but that he was their God, that they were his people. And so in response, they sing. They declare the truth of who God is, that he is their God, that he is all-powerful. They exalt him, even as he has already exalted himself by what he has done. And they mean every word of what they sing.
Now as we'll learn, the Israelites are far, far from perfect. But we nonetheless have an example here. It is the right response for us to sing of what the Lord has done for us, because He is worthy of song. God has not abandoned us. The Word became flesh, the Son of God became the Son of Man, so that God through the Son might deliver us. Jesus is a warrior. He overthrows the power, he throws down the devil, he defeats death. And his victory is our victory as we trust in him. As we trust in the Lord, rather than chariots. All this world's chariots, all the false gods, are powerless before Him. We have a true champion, our destiny is secure-- the children of God will live forever, shining like the stars. In Christ, we will inherit the heavens, and the earth, and all things.
If you believe that, if you really believe that, if you're like, "That's real," won't you sing? Singing is for believers, for those who have seen and know and now love. Let us sing and never stop singing, persevering to join the chorus of those in Revelation 15 whom John says sing "the song of God's servant Moses and of the Lamb." And that song goes like this in verses three and four in that chapter: Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations. Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed. World without end, for all eternity, let us sing. And let us pray as we approach singing again.
Dear Father, it's too easy for us, it's too easy for us to forget what you've done. We too easily forget, Father, the reality of who you are, that you hold all things in your hands, and that you have truly redeemed us in Christ, and that you have promised more to come. We confess, Father, that we get distracted by the powers in this world, the chariot armies around us that seem to threaten us, that would seem to destroy us, Father.
Father, we confess this. We ask that you would forgive us for being so distracted, for being so preoccupied with the powers of this world and false gods. Forgive us, Father, for this, and we ask that you would turn our hearts to trust in you, to look to you, to worship and praise you because of what you have done, because of what you are doing, and what you are going to do Fill us with joy, Father, and may it be our utmost desire to exalt you Make your name known in all creation.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
